I speak with my friend Art Fawcett very often. One of the subjects which always comes up is the economy and how the current administration is handling it. Although we differ greatly in many political matters, we both agree that some high level banking exec getting a $100 million bonus while the average Joe can't get a decent mortgage or a decent line of credit is wrong.
One of the items we discussed this week was a local car dealer here in New York who hardly sold any cars at all in 2009 but since the Cash for Clunkers plan, they sold over 100 units in four days. This may be a program that will benefit the consumer, the car dealer and his employees and might be a step in the right direction.
Now, how about Cash for Clunkers for hats. Send Art a felt hat you no longer want, need,, like or which just doesn't do it for you any more. I'm not talking about something you wear to paint the ceiling, or your slobbery Rottweiler's chew toy. You know what I mean, they should be in wearable condition.
Art will spiff that hat up, donate it to the Veterans Administration Domiciliary Long Term Facility in Oregon where one of our Nation's unsung heroes down on his luck and his health will get a nice fedora which hopefully will make his day.
For you, fellow loungers, you will get a $25.00 credit towards a VS Custom Hat which makes getting one of the finest custom hats a little bit easier. Some of you might say I am just giving my buddy some shameless publicity but there is nothing in it for me.
I just like the idea because I really like Art's work (and own many examples), am a robust and frequent donor to the VA, and I love to save a buck.
Contact Art with your questions, comments or anything else you wish.
